'Minecraft' 1.7 update to bring double the number of biomes, sunflowers added

XMNR: Mojang has already revealed a couple of new biomes for the PC version of Minecraft but lead developer Jens Bergensten estimated Friday that the total number of new biomes will be double what is available in the open-world sandbox game today. There's also a brand new plant coming and a new feature when falling.
(Minecraft, PC)

the new launcher allows you to play the older versions. Go to Edit Profile> Allow use of alpha&beta releases> done.

you can play from the beginning as well. check the snapshots box if you want to play with the new unreleased, and intended for future release. Not sure if they're planning any 1.7 snapshots since jeb__ is rewriting some of the biomes.

Oh cool. I just liked multiplayer before food really. I was never into the survival aspect of the game nor did I care about the creative mode they added. Servers, if they let you build whatever, are always on creative. I prefer a 'survival' server with bukkit and /give or whatever that command was. Unfortunately, I'm never willing to invest enough time in a survival server for the admins to trust me with /give.
